As the title says, if a single dash is used with a space between each side eg. 'Die Hard - Action Film' is written in to a WordPress post, once published it comes out as 'Die Hard -- Action Film'. If no spaces are used around the dash it works, but obviously this isn't desired.

I've obviously found out it's not something that happens with a default install of Wordpress but I can't seem to pinpoint what the cause is in my theme.

Lyken, thank you so much. I decided to turn off a few plugins and found out the 'Smart YouTube' plugin was the culprit. Now I have to figure out if I can fix it or just drop the plugin all together.
